Re: Cutting to black in the middle of a script...
Yes, in this type of situation, there are several options you can take. But I like what Comic said in his reply:
[ And, yes, you can use a FADE IN within a script. It is not just a tag that tells you the film is starting. ] So many of us get hung up on that fact that this 'transitional term' , is to be used only at the beginning and end of a script. It's not, it's just a transition like any other transition: so use it anywhere you like. The thing to remember is: it's an editorial tool. To be added during the post-production stage. wks |

Re: Cutting to black in the middle of a script...
I'd say:
FADE TO BLACK: But with a colon rather than a period. You can FADE IN: from there, but I think just a new scene heading should cover it. I'm not a big fan of using FADE IN: willy nilly.
